The final result of the high-level discussions in the imperial capital was also expected, and only three days later, the Republic Navy began to mobilize without a trace, and the main force of the Nanhai Fleet, which had already arrived in the waters of Chigua Reef, had been patrolling nearby.

As for the 053 frigate that ran aground, because the injuries were so serious, not only the deck superstructure was destroyed, but even the side strings were punched out of several holes, and such a warship would have sunk into the sea long ago if it had not been grounded in advance.

Ten = Everyone knew that there was no need for the warship to be repaired, and after some decision, the battle-hardened ship was forever left in the place where it had been fighting: Eat Gua Reef, where it would forever guard its place of glory.

Of course, it is not alone, accompanied by the Vietnamese 929 landing ship, this landing ship is basically well preserved except for the immobility, and was stationed by the navy to defend the island, the 4,000-ton stranded landing ship is much more comfortable to live in than the stilt house, and since then, the Republic has maintained a long-term frontier presence in the waters of Chigua Reef.

The main combat ships have been patrolling the waters of Chigua Reef, and the Type 072 tank landing ship, which was the top landing ship at that time, was urgently dispatched to fight, which will be another killer weapon in this pursuit operation by taking advantage of the victory.

In this operation, the most important point is that after the naval aviation unit of the Republic formulated a plan for the naval aviation to raid the Su-22 base in Vietnam, the main force of this operation, the Jian-74, has been being tested in various ways.

Commander, this is our plan for this air raid, we are now in a problem with the selection of air attack ammunition, and I am afraid that you will have to make up your mind, this is really too much"

Seeing that this young descendant who had high hopes for himself was now also stumped, Commander Liu was interested. What kind of technical work is needed for this kind of bomb dropping?

Picking up this document, Commander Liu waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down, and waited until he had carefully understood this issue.

"This attack on a small airport, how can you make such a big move? Missiles aren't cheap at all, and besides, this thing is obviously not used to attack the ground, can you do that? This is simply a ruined act! ”

Commander Liu, who made it clear, was also frightened by the generosity of this battle plan, not because the scale of the operation was large, but if this battle plan could be successfully implemented, the scale of the entire operation would be very small. The reason why I say big money is because the money needed for this operation is too much, and the cost of weapons is too expensive, and this is the real big money.

However, the young Director Zhang had long expected that Commander Liu would ask this question, and those staff officers gave them the task of reporting to themselves, aren't they all embarrassed to come. Sure enough, he was scolded as a loser.

"Commander, we can't do anything about this, it's not a bomber that we carry out air raids this time, that thing can carry a large number of conventional free-fall bombs for carpet bombing, we use a light J-74 multi-role fighter this time, although this aircraft is good, but the payload capacity of this aircraft is really worrying!"

If you want to talk about the payload capacity of the J-74, Yang Hui can say without hesitation. This is the most capable fighter of the entire Republic, with three heavy hardpoints out of seven hardpoints. The ammunition carried can reach up to 2 tons.

However, these two tons of ammunition are still not enough in this operation, and it is doomed that only three heavy hardpoints will be the hardpoints of ground-to-ground ammunition at the belly and wing roots, and if these three places are hung conventional medium-sized free-fall bombs, only three can be hung.

A Jian-74 hangs a third free-fall bomb, and now there are less than 30 Jian-74s in the navy that form fighters, after all, the army of the Republic at this time really has no money for large-scale training, and it may be difficult to have the opportunity to take it out for a walk after the new equipment is in place. This situation is still due to the fact that there are few naval planes, so we can concentrate on training the top fighters and really train the air force

But to talk about the problem, these J-74 are not enough, and the Republic Navy has only a total of 11 bombardment-6 air tankers in place and forming combat capability. There are only a few air tankers.

"We are going to make a long-range raid on the airfield in Vietnam, even if the Jian-74 is from Vinh Tan Island Airport, we expect that we will still need at least two in-flight refueling to complete the attack and return smoothly. This shows that no matter whether it is the number of our J-74s or the refueling support capability of the 6-th Air Bombardment, we can only ensure that a maximum of 30 J-74s can take off and attack at the same time. ”

After listening to Director Zhang's analysis, Commander Liu began to beat a drum in his heart, if he could only pull out thirty sorties to attack.

"I'll do the math, thirty J-7 attacks, one plane hangs three medium-sized free-fall bombs, thirty J-74s launch attacks with a maximum of 90 bombs, and there are more than 100 tons of bombs at most to launch attacks, which should still be enough, right?"

Commander Liu, as a member of the navy, is still quite clear about the weapons and ammunition of the navy of the Republic of China, although the J-74 is three heavy hardpoints, but as long as the most suitable ammunition is hung, the maximum take-off weight of the J-74 can be brought into play, and this more than 100-ton bomb is naturally enough for an airfield.

Commander Liu thought about the plan of this attack relatively simply, when the attack comes, the entire airfield can be completely covered, how can these Su-22s attack, isn't this just lying on their stomachs?

But the truth is not so simple, if it is enough to cover the airport runway, naturally there is no need for the naval staff to go to great length, the real problem is that the hangar used by the Vietnamese to park the Su-22 is either a semi-underground cement bunker hangar, or it is directly stored in an underground hangar, and a single free-fall bomb attack may not work.

Director Zhang can only continue to talk about the situation of the Vietnamese 937 Regiment stationed in the Su-22 fighters, but this place where Vietnam's elite attack planes are stationed is not easy to bite.

"For these Vietnamese Su-22 attack aircraft, it is difficult to complete the attack with free fall bombs alone, and if we use free fall bombs in ultra-low-altitude raids, we will not be able to give the bombs sufficient kinetic energy, and it will be quite difficult to penetrate those solid hangars. In order to give these bombs sufficient kinetic energy, we can only raid Vietnam at ultra-low altitudes, and then quickly climb to high-altitude bombs, only in this way can we use the bombs that the J-74 can now carry to complete the attack. ”

When Zhang Ju laid out these problems, Commander Liu knew why this attack was so costly, it was really this free-fall bomb that was unreliable now, and it was impossible to complete the attack mission in this situation.

"High-altitude bombs? With a maximum of more than 100 tons of bombs, it is not known how many bombs will eventually fall above this airport, let alone fall on top of the hangar and break through the hangar. Not to mention the risk of high-altitude bombs being shot down by anti-aircraft fire, which is simply going to be a live target, and the Hongqi-2 missiles that we have supported to Vietnam do not seem to have expired. ”

When Commander Liu said this, he also expressed infinite remorse, if the method of high-altitude bomb delivery was feasible, where would a small thing like the Jian-74 be needed, and a big guy like the H-6 would be the best choice for high-altitude carpet bombing, but now it is obviously unrealistic to carry out high-altitude bombing against Vietnam.

After convincing Commander Liu and letting Commander Liu know that the use of conventional bombs is not feasible, the second plan to attack with guided munitions can be passed, and the money spent on the plan to attack with guided bombs is really true

"Therefore, we are preparing a second set of plans, we use precision-guided missiles to attack, and now the only missiles that can be mounted by the J-74 and have achieved good combat results are only the C-801 anti-ship cruise missile." (To be continued.) )
